Arthur, je voulais vous écrire

J’ai fait un rêve

Au lever j’ai compris que crèvent

Nos ors nos encens et nos mythes




Je ne sais pourquoi nous rêvons,

Vous qui marchez,

Dites-moi à quoi me sont bons

Mes songes de beauté




Vous devez vivre au bout du monde

Aux deltas que le inonde

Vous devez vivre au bout du monde




Arthur, je voulais vous écrire

Je pense à vous

Je n’ai plus guère de genou,

Mes mollets mes tibias empirent




C’est que j’ai cru faire la vie

Vous souriez :

Vous pensez « mal lui en a pris,

La bête, l’infatué ! »




Vous devez vivre au bout du monde

Aux deltas que le jour inonde

Vous devez vivre au bout du monde

I saw you flying with the falcons, in search of one last chanceYou were saying your piece and battening down the hatches
I saw you running with the wild ones, the desert in your reachYou were holding your own, insisting we do it free style
We phase in we phase out, despite these restrictive circumstancesOoh you’re stepping in style and I’m sure you’ll cut em down to sizeI'm sure you will
I heard rumors on your progress, guess that’s the best I’ll doIf we reversed the situation, be sure I’d do the same for youI saw you dancing in the darkness, but I could see through your disguiseIf I don’t get caught in minor detail, I swear I’ll let love speak its mind well
We phase in we phase out, despite these restrictive circumstancesOoh we’re stepping in style and I’m sure you’ll cut em down to sizeWe phase in we phase out, despite these restrictive circumstancesOoh we’re stepping in style and I’m sure you’ll cut em down to size
We phase in we phase out we’re flying with the falcons,
Running with the wild ones dancing in the darkness
I can see through your disguise, ohWe phase in we phase out despite these restrictive circumstancesOoh you’re stepping in style and I’m sure you’ll

Cut em down to sizeI’m sure you’ll, I’m sure you’ll, I’m sure you’ll, I’m sure you’llCut em down to sizeYou know I’m sure you will
We phase in we phase out, despite these restrictive circumstances

Do you know what it feels like ?
(I)Wonder if you canLiving in this world of glass(I)Wonder if we’ll break 
If you knew what I fear…If you knew what is deep inside…If you knew how to ease…If you knew how to learn to be real ?

If you knew what I fear…If you knew what is deep inside me…If you knew how to ease…If you knew how to learn me to be real ?
